He said he believed his liquid air engine would prevail against other storage technologies because it did not rely on potentially scarce materials for batteries.
Ingesting this slower air allows an engine to burn its fuel more efficiently while generating the same amount of thrust.
One is exhaust gas recirculation, which pumps cooled exhaust back into the engine air intake, lowering the combustion temperature and reducing NOx formation.
The difference between turbocharging and supercharging is simple: a turbocharger boosts engine air pressure by using exhaust gas to power a turbine that pushes more air into the combustion chamber.

By the early 20th century Syracuse became famous for production of Smith Corona typewriters, Syracuse China, Nettleton shoes, bicycles, wax candles and the Franklin, an ahead-of-its-time automobile with an air-cooled engine.
The broad lower fenders are aerodynamically sculpted to manage the flow of air to the engine bay and front brakes, whilst reinforcing the powerful, dynamic road presence of the new Lexus signature frontal design.

In May, the same aircraft had to make two unscheduled air returns following reports of engine failure, according to a Dana Air station manager in Lagos.
In August 2001, a Canadian airliner operated by Air Transat experienced double engine failure while traveling to Portugal.
In jet aircraft, purifying cabin air would save on fuel needed to compress fresh air bled from the engine to ventilate the cabin.
The system is like a clever version of a car radiator, but in reverse, keeping the air rushing into the engine hot on the inside, and cool on the outside.
FORBES: As SpaceX Launches, Hybrid Engine May Have A Cheaper Solution?To Space Travel
It's a four-door hatchback, with a 1.3-liter engine, dual air bags and antilock brakes.
Its disruptive technology is a novel air-breathing and rocket engine that would enable the ship to go to space in one leap.
Once the jet engine allowed mass air travel, pampering and soothing stopped and the whiff of romance became an advertising copywriter's fiction.
Engine sounds, air conditioning and loudspeakers, wheels on tarmac.
Scuderi says its split-cycle engine increases overall efficiency by up to 50 percent and cuts down on NOx gases at the same time by changing the way air gets channeled through an engine.
The flight is believed to have lost an engine mid-air, and the pilot of the plane is reported to have called for emergency landing while making futile, frantic efforts to sustain the aircraft with the remaining functional engine.
Developed by a team led by Marc Lichte (Senior Designer, Volkswagen Brand), the CrossBlue features a very prominent and long hood that integrates the engine's air intakes, a roofline that is also long, and a very short frontal overhang.

The ships, which regularly plied various routes in the North Atlantic during 2005, were kitted out by a number of European research organisations with instruments that measured the CO2 content of water taken into the engine rooms and air collected upwind of the funnels.
They have served in Afghanistan and Iraq as specialists in the Army, machine gunners in the Marine Corps, and engine mechanics in the Air Force, to name a few.
Not only did our compact car end up having power windows and locks, but it maneuvered easily with its zippy engine, and the air conditioner had no problems handling the Houston heat.
The large center air inlet further optimizes cooling of the engine and the front brakes.
Exhaust from the engine consists of harmless atmospheric air, cold enough to serve as air-conditioning on a hot day.
But it turns out that pilots can run the engine better by adding some air and subtracting some gas in the fuel mixture.
The Toyota Prius saves gasoline, which means that it spews less carbon dioxide into the air than a similar car without a hybrid engine.
Imagine the surprise, then, when the EPA announced in January that it had developed a prototype diesel engine that would meet clean-air requirements.
The crews arrived four days after the 24-foot tsunami had swept the plant, and in the ensuing 10 weeks they logged 507 flight hours crisscrossing the skies over Japan in a Beechcraft C-12 twin engine turboprop out of nearby Yokota Air Base.
But it's one thing to put people in uniform, and another thing to have clear command structure, or the capacity to move troops from point A to point B, or the capacity to make sure that the troop carrier from point A to point B has got the necessary air in its tires or oil in its engine.
The main workhorse of the allied air campaign against Germany was the Lancaster four-engine bomber.

The other possibility is to increase bypass, or the amount of air the fan on the front blows past the engine.

He took a chance, knowing the engine had only kept him in the air for half the required time during his trials.
